Missed out on the rising star nomination. Elijah Hollands got it this week with 23 disposals and two goals.

Given he's wanted to see improvement in his defensive game, Dimma will be very happy with Tyler Sonsie having 22 pressure acts..(our 4th best behind Prestia, Rioli & KMac) on the weekend. Development.

Ran 15.2km as well, third most of any tiger and 5th on the ground.

Also 9 score involvements, second most on the ground. Having an impact!

Lol pressure acts can we have a break down of these all important pressure acts. You know the best pressure act of all is being capable of actually stopping a player with a tackle how many of those did he have.

Again not a go at Sonsie i love the kid but a go at stupid dumb spurios stats that are then used ad nauseum to convince people of what ever.

From what i can gather from both Afl games and VFL games he was getting picked because of defensive pressure.

I can see little difference from his Afl out put in this from his vfl output.

The kid has certain attributes that we just refused to acknowledge and thus refused to play him a lot earlier than we did.We looked for reasons not to play him when we had and still have far too many horrible kicks and decision makers.

This undersized skinny kid with no motor apparently has made em look silly.

But hey we get it we just cannot drop those underperformers who have played in premierships after all they are guaranteed a place forever.

There would have been no dynasty if people like Claw were in charge.

Thankfully, self-absorbed Richmond-haters with false list management expertise were not running the show.  :pray

“Tyler came to us after only playing seven games in the past two years due to Covid,” Hartley said.

“He had a slower start with pre-season but has worked hard on his game in VFL and now we are starting to see the rewards at AFL level.

“It is a credit to Tyler and his approach how far he has come.”

Cornes praising Sonsie's workrate on Footy Classified last night.

Go to 1:10 min mark: https://twitter.com/FootyonNine/status/1559157541690540034

"Do like Sonsie ... Defensive pressure there [in the centre] from a high half-forward, Richmond turn it over [our way at half-back] and this is a player who is just a footballer. He knows what he is doing. The workrate then to provide an option out on the wing. That's how you play the high half-forward role. I like him as a player. He's a ripper!" - Cornes.

Now thats a pretty  cheap and nasty  shot at a poster and deserves a like reply.

Personally i think dumb stupid totally unthinking posters like you are nuff nuffs but never  say it until poked.
Having been unjustly imo vilified On this occasion i think its warranted, you know a bit poo thrown a bit of poo back in ya face. So don't whine like a girl to the mods.

Rather than making up stories i challenge you to debate anything i post, have always been happy to do so. It will never happen with you though, imo  a  gutless blinkered poster who cries at any hint of criticism who sits back and takes cheap shots never prepared to have an opinion or put anything on the line.

You don't like what i post but have no come back to counter what i say so instead attack the poster. Yep a real nuff nuff.

Now I don’t want it to seem like I’m stalking you, it just so happens you were the last 2 posts I read. But FMD that’s a right laugh there. Not sure what’s funnier, you saying you’re happy to debate or you accusing others of making up stories  :lol

 :lol

 I have no issue with you calling me stupid or a nuff nuff. It's funny to me. Fill your boots mate!

Also, I have challenged your theories many times over the years, but it's a pointless exercise because you have no balance whatsoever in your views, no willingness to understand other peoples perspectives and no willingness to admit when you're wrong (which you are most of the time).

Anyway, let's be real, you barely go to games, you constantly bag our players and fans, you refer to our most successful coach ever as "Dimwit" and you show absolutely no sign of genuine affection for this cub at all.

The only thing you seen to care about is your self-inflated image as some sort of maverick list management guru.

So yes, you are the one poster on this site that I do question as a legitimate fan.

Nevertheless, I enjoy having you on here because your predicable, self-important rants are quite comical.  :cheers
